Newborns legs straightening when carried

Question

Hi anyone has encountered situations where your baby straightens his or her legs when being carried? My one month old baby tends to do this occasionally. I read online that if baby does this when being picked up then it can be a sign of something serious. However, my baby doesnt do this when picked up, but more so when being put down. Feeling worried now. #pleasehelp #firstbaby #advicepls #1stimemom

Hey Mama,Please don’t be worried. I know as mums we tend to expect the worst but most times it isn’t. Baby should have gone for some developmental checks already yes? And everything is fine? If it helps, make an appointment with your pd to qualm your fears. Take care!
